California or Australia. Which are the Top Business School in this places?

Question

I'm 33 years old from Colombia. I spend a lot of years dedicated to business, and also International social working.

I'm concedering on going to Business School, as an Old non-traditional college student.

I like Southern California, and East-Coast Australia, because It's important for me to study near beaches with good waves for surfing. I have been surfing since I was a Kid.

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you are interested in social work you will want to go to school for an MSW not a business degree. There are good schools in southern CA and in Australia.

DA

Answer 2

G'day,

Australia East-Coast... then Brisbane, Gold Coast even Cairns will be the one to go.

Some may argue that the university belongs to The Group of 8 (www.go8.edu.au) are the 'famous' one. However they group was formed just to unify the promotional effort. The members cannot claim that they are the best at everything that they offers.

There are only 42 (soon to be 43) universities in Australia, all of them are fully accredited and they are tightly regulated, therefore the quality and recognition of their graduates are equal from wherever university you are studying from. The most important thing is you have to READ the course information carefully, since some courses may have the same name but different content.

There are quite alot of Australian universities offering business courses to international students. To find out the course that you are taking and where it is offered, I suggest you to go to Dept of Education, Science and Technology (http://cricos.dest.gov.au) and IDP Education Australia website (www.idp.edu.au) online databases. The information abt fees & requirements can be found in the university's website. Please make sure that you access the information for internationals students, since some requirements, application form and fees are different than Australians'.

Once decided on the uni, fill in the application form and send it together with certified copy of your academic qualification. You may also need to submit an IELTS test results for proof of your English proficiency (www.ielts.org)

You will need to find the area of business that you want to specialise in. This may be marketing/accounting/MBA etc. Check if the uni's are offering the area.

Hope this helps. Good luck for your study :)

Answer 3

In Southern California, the best business school is the Anderson School at UCLA. This is assuming that you already have a bachelor's degree and are planning on getting an MBA. If you do not, then USC is probably the best of the undergraduate programs in the area. I'll let the Australians speak for themselves!
